  • {{event_name}}: The name and type of event (e.g., outdoor wedding, sports event).
  • {{weather_concerns}}: The specific weather risks you're worried about (e.g., rain, extreme heat, wind).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Analyze historical weather patterns for the location and time of year to identify likely weather scenarios.
  3. For each scenario, develop a backup plan that includes alternative indoor venues, schedule adjustments, and equipment protection strategies.
  4. Provide a risk management plan that assesses the impact of weather on photography equipment and suggests protective measures.
  5. Outline how to communicate the weather backup plan to clients and organizers, ensuring clarity and reassurance.

Output format Present the plan in sections: Weather Risk Analysis, Backup Scenarios, Equipment Protection, and Communication Strategy. Use bullet points and keep it under 450 words.

Guardrails Do not rely on real-time forecasts; use historical data and general patterns. Avoid making assumptions about venue availability; suggest criteria for evaluating alternatives. Stay focused on weather-related risks, not other disruptions.

Example Location: Miami, FL; event: beach wedding; weather concerns: rain and extreme heat.
